Wine Description
2B indicates a blend of two of my very good Riesling vineyards. Due to frost in April 2016 and downy mildew I lost a lot of fruit, especially on the BRUCK vineyard. And on the Buschenberg vineyard ripening was late and not typical for that particular terroir. Therefore I decided not to bottle a single vineyard Bruck or Buschenberg but a blend of both, calling it 2B.
